Do you let your family eat banana ketchup? Also, what is it made of, and why do we only have it here in the Philippines? I'm afraid it's full of preservatives and artificial coloring.

Nabasa ko yung history ng Banana ketchup kanina lang 😂 Mahilig kasi ako sa History, anyway ang nagpa uso nyan si Maria Orosa na isang food chemist at innovator. Humanitarian din sya at activist. Napansin kasi nyang mahina ang supplies natin sa tomato galing pa sa ibang bansa sa kalakalan ang gusto nya mangyari maging self sustaining at self sufficient ang mga Filipino or ang Pilipinas, since madami tayong supply ng banana dito sa pinas ginawa nya ang banana ketchup. Nutritious naman po yun at gawa talaga sa Banana. Alternate din sya ng tomato ketchup, pinagaralan talaga ni Maria Orosa ang nutrition na makukuha sa bawat inimbento nya nakilala din sya nung World war II para sa pagpupuslit ng tinatawag na Soyalac at Darak na madaming vitamins para di mamatay sa malnutrition at panlaban sa beri-beri ng mga guerillas at mga amerikano laban sa japanese noon 😊 madami syang naimbento na puno ng nutritions and vitamins isa na din ang paggawa ng mga jam, jellies at pag ferment, preserve ng food. Yun reason bat tayo lang ang meron ng Banana ketchup thanks to Maria Orosa marami sya naitulong at naimbento na hanggang ngayon meron pa din 😊 anyway sa Banana ketchup ngayon it is use as condiments, yes may food coloring po sya una pa lang na ginawa ni Maria Orosa. Sa preservatives not quite sure pero may vinegar po kasi ang ingredients ng banana ketchup 😊

I've had a preeclampsia scare when I was pregnant so I I I was adviced to keep sodium to a minimum and this includes even lessening the use of condiments like patis, toyo and even ketchup. 2 tbsp of catsup already takes about 20% of the recommended sodium intake of a pregnant woman daily. How much more if you add all the other foods that contain so much sodium? If you can limit it, that will be great. In moderation, just like what's adviced above.

our family loves banana ketchup! it's literally made with bananas, and yes, it does have preservatives and artifical coloring. from what i know, they started making it due to a shortage of resources during ww2. and as with all things, banana ketchup would be fine in moderation. if you're worried about it, then you can just get regular tomato ketchup instead. :)
